Background In April of 1991, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Water’s Assessment and Protection Division published “Guidance for Water Quality-based Decisions: The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Process” (USEPA 1991b). In July 1992, EPA published the final “Water Quality Planning and Management Regulation” (40 CFR Part 130). Together, these documents describe the roles and responsibilities of EPA and the states in meeting the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) as amended by the Water Quality Act of 1987, Public Law 100-4. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires each state to identify those waters within its boundaries not meeting water quality standards for any given pollutant applicable to the water’s designated uses. Further, Section 303(d) requires EPA and states to develop TMDLs for all pollutants violating or causing violation of applicable water quality standards for each impaired waterbody. A TMDL determines the maximum amount of pollutant that a waterbody is capable of assimilating while continuing to meet the existing water quality standards. Such loads are established for all the point and nonpoint sources of pollution that cause the impairment at levels necessary to meet the applicable standards with consideration given to seasonal variations and margin of safety. TMDLs provide the framework that allows states to establish and implement pollution control and management plans with the ultimate goal indicated in Section 101(a)(2) of the CWA: “water quality which provides for the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife, and recreation in and on the water, wherever attainable” (USEPA, 1991a). 1.2. Problem Statement Port Bay (WI/PWL ID 0302-0012) is situated in the Town of Wolcott and Town of Huron, within Wayne County, New York. Over the past couple of decades, the bay has experienced degraded water quality that has reduced the bay’s recreational and aesthetic value. Recreational suitability has become less favorable due to “excessive weed growth” in the bay. The “excessive weed growth” is thought to be caused by high levels of nutrients entering the bay from the surrounding watershed, lake-shore septic systems, and a municipal wastewater treatment plant (Wayne County, 2007). Port Bay is presently among the lakes listed on the Lake Ontario Basin PWL (NYS DEC, 2008). A variety of sources of phosphorus are contributing to the poor water quality in Port Bay. The water quality of the bay is influenced by runoff events from the drainage basin, point source discharges, and loading from nearby residential septic systems. In response to precipitation, nutrients, such as phosphorus – naturally found in New York soils – drain into the bay from the surrounding drainage basin by way of streams, overland flow, and subsurface flow. Nutrients are then deposited and stored in the bay bottom sediments. Phosphorus is often the limiting nutrient in temperate lakes and ponds and can be thought of as a fertilizer; a primary food for plants, including algae. When lakes receive excess phosphorus, it “fertilizes” the lake by feeding the algae. Too much phosphorus can result in algae blooms, which can damage the ecology/aesthetics of a lake, as well as the economic well-being of the surrounding drainage basin community. 3 The results from state sampling efforts confirm eutrophic conditions in Port Bay, with the concentration of phosphorus in the bay exceeding the state’s current guidance value for phosphorus (20 µg/L or 0.020 mg/L, applied as the mean summer, epilimnetic total phosphorus concentration), which increases the potential for nuisance summertime algae blooms. In 2002, Port Bay was added to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) CWA Section 303(d) list of impaired waterbodies that do not meet water quality standards due to phosphorus impairments and was ranked as a high priority for TMDL development (NYS DEC, 2008). Based on this listing, a TMDL for phosphorus is being developed for the bay to address the impairment. 2.0 WATERSHED AND LAKE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1. Watershed Characterization Port Bay has a direct drainage basin area of 21,068 acres excluding the surface area of the bay (Figure 1). Elevations in the bay’s basin range from approximately 604 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) to as low as 246 feet AMSL at the surface of Port Bay. Existing land use and land cover in the Port Bay drainage basin was determined from digital aerial photography and geographic information system (GIS) datasets. Digital land use/land cover data were obtained from the 2001 National Land Cover Dataset (NLCD, Homer, 2004). The NLCD is a consistent representation of land cover for the conterminous United States generated from classified 30-meter resolution Landsat thematic mapper satellite imagery data. High-resolution color orthophotos were used to manually update and refine land use categories for portions of the drainage basin to reflect current conditions in the drainage basin (Figure 2). Appendix A provides additional detail about the refinement of land use for the drainage basin. Land use categories (including individual category acres and percent of total) in Port Bay’s drainage basin are listed in Table 1 and presented in Figures 3 and 4. 4 Figure 1.

  • Sodus Bay Wayne County, New York Joseph C
    1 Sodus Bay Wayne County, New York Joseph C. Makarewicz and Matthew J. Nowak The College at Brockport, State University of New York January 2010 Sodus Bay is one of Lake Ontario’s major embayments separated from the lake by a 7,500-foot long barrier beach. The bay is located in Wayne County, New York, and is 4.4 miles in length and 2.4 miles across. This major point of access to Lake Ontario contains 12 marinas, 13 waterfront restaurants, 2 public access sites, a public beach, and a sailing school. The 46- mi2 Sodus Bay watershed is composed of land that is 30% agriculture, 4% developed land, 61% forest, and 4% wetlands. First Creek, Second Creek, Third Creek, Sodus Creek West, Sodus Creek East (Glenmark Creek), and Clark Creek empty into this bay. Sodus Bay has nuisance algae and macrophytes Sodus Bay, New York which can cause beach closings. This short report provides a synopsis of data collected monthly from May through September (2003 to 2009) on the water quality of Sodus Bay and the lakeside (swimmable depth) of Lake Ontario near the bay. Phosphorus is of concern as it stimulates the growth of plants, causing blooms of algae such as Cladophora. Both lakeside and creek total phosphorus (TP) levels exceeded the NYSDEC ambient guideline of 20 µg P/L for phosphorus concentration. Average TP levels (Fig. 1a) in the lakeside waters (43.9+10.4 µg P/L) were slightly higher than Sodus Bay concentrations (33.2+5.3 µg P/L) while bay soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) levels (6.6+0.9 µg P/L) were similar to lakeside concentrations (7.6+3.4 µg P/L).

Wetlands are identified and delineated on aerial photographs with these data transferred to base maps at a scale of 1:24,000 for the coterminous United States (1:63,360 for Alaska). To date, wetland maps have been prepared for over 95 % of the coterminous United States and about 40% of Alaska. Nationwide, the focus of the inventory has been on producing these maps and digital data which can be used by the FWS, other government agencies, organizations, private industry, and the general public to locate wetlands when considering land development and natural resource conservation initiatives.

Located in the southeastern and eastern quadrant of Lake Ontario, this area and its tributaries provided food and transportation trade routes for indigenous peoples and early European explorers, such as Samuel de Champlain. During the colonial period, it was a strategic theater of conflict among European powers and the young American republic. Military actions involving naval and land forces occurred at Sodus, Oswego, Big Sandy Creek, and Sackets Harbor during the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. These actions involved historic figures such as the Marquis de Montcalm, Sir William Johnson, Commodore Isaac Chauncey and Sir James Yeo.

Brumm: Putting Sodus Shaker Village On The Map Putting Sodus Shaker Village On The Map1 By Walter A. Brumm Introduction The interplay of historical evidence with the researcher’s skill at historical reconstruction is what is at stake in this study of the formation of the Shaker settlement on the southern shore of the Great Sodus Bay. Although the Shaker settlement there lasted for a decade, from 1826 until 1837, attention here is on the years 1825-1827, which were the formative years of the community. Through the use of maps, and with the corroboration of Shaker journals and other writings, I will demonstrate that the Sodus Shakers did not purchase virgin land but rather a deserted, previously- settled town. This is the “what” of the article. In this case, however, the “how” — i.e., the process of discovery, the role of chance and serendipity, the need to address my own “hidden” assumptions, the mysteries created by incongruent facts and the detective work required to solve them — is perhaps of equal interest, and shapes how I will present my findings. Any historical inquiry is dependent upon artifacts from the past, which for the most part are written documents.
